UT College Visit restaurant suggestions by Embassy Suites Town Lake and by campus

Our family (me, dh, 17 yo, 12 yo, 10 yo) are coming to Austin next month so the oldest child can tour UT. We are staying at the Embassy Suites on Town Lake (it will always be Town Lake to me). Any walking distance restaurant recommendations for dinner? The kids are good restaurant patrons and pretty flexible for cuisines.

We also need a lunch suggestion within campus walking distance. The tour is in the morning and he is meeting with an admissions counselor after lunch so we need to stay close. Something around the Drag is preferable.

It has been 20+ years since DH and I have spent any meaningful time in Austin so suggestions are appreciated.
